| dc.description.abstract | Wide local excision combined with postoperative radiotherapy is a useful technique for patients with breast cancer. For patients with macromastia whose tumor is situated in the lower pole of the breast, a breast reduction (keyholeinverted T pattern ) can be used to achieve wide local excision. However, for patients whose tumor is not in the inferior portion of the breast, and in whom this cancer also is situated close to the skin (requiring excision of skin with a 1-cm margin for oncologic safety), the traditional keyhole pattern cannot be used. A modification of the keyhole patterninverted T is described. The pedicle used depends on the site of the tumor. Although the breast scars are in different positions, a similar breast shape as well as symmetry still can be achieved. This is a useful technique for a select subgroup of patients. The outcomes for three patients are presented. | |
